Team News

Arsenal
Bolton
  • Neto is ineligible to feature in midweek, and with David Raya a doubt and Tommy Setford injured, 16 year old Jack Porter may start between the sticks.
  • Leandro Trossard's red card against Manchester City means he is suspended here.
  • Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are fitness concerns, while no fewer than five players miss out due to injury.
  • Bolton have five confirmed absentees for their game at Arsenal in Wednesday night.

Prediction

  • Arsenal were seconds away from a historic win at Manchester City on Sunday but were forced to settle for a point in an entertaining encounter at the Etihad Stadium.
  • Bolton battered Reading on home turf but have been inconsistent of late, winning three and losing three of their last six.
  • While Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate on Wednesday, Arsenal should ease into the next round of the EFL Cup.

  • Arsenal 6-0

  • Nwaneri to score, top talent

  • Why would they risk Saka in this game?

  • @Dobbo25 Arteta wants a trophy this season even if it's A mickey mouse one

  • Saka -115 / Jesus -110 / Ethan Nwaneri +200 TSA

  • @KingKeno Braace

  • GG goalkeeper injury

  • EZ Arsenal Win

  • Genius predictions.. Saka who has fitness issues should start, whereas Martinelli who needs game time to get himself to form will be on the bench?

  • @GoonerRSA yes

  • over 1.5 first half goals

  • Arteta has to play the kids here. Rojas or Porter in goal, Nwaneri and MLS start. Would be cool to see Dowman on the bench.

  • @Overmars I would also have Kabia or Butler-oydeji starting. Even Khayon Edwards should get a look in before Saka and Martinelli. We need to rest and rotate more of our first eleven. But then Arteta doesn't like to rest and rotate players too much.
